House of Souls. Meken A.

Arthur Meken is one of the most mysterious writers of the late XIX - early XX centuries. In his work, the traditions of romance and Gothic were weaving together, he became the founder of literature on supernatural horror, fans of his work were Oscar Wilde, Howard Phillips Lavkraft, Jorge Louis Borhees and Guillermo Del Toro. He, like no one, influenced the development of the horror and many representatives of the genre, including Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, Thomas Ligotti and Adam Neville. His works were scandalous, they were horrified by contemporaries, but delighted the descendants.

A writer who ahead of his time, who has laid the traditions of his own, not like not like mysticism, Meken still remains, along with Lovecraft, an unsurpassed master of strange and sinister stories, where the ancient gods and creatures come to life, where fear is fear It can lurk in the most everyday trifles, and green forests and valleys hide the monsters that are not subject to human imagination and mind.
